Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 82 The Witch's Shadow
As a tool for execution, the guillotine has been active for at least thousands of years.

Because many people believed that the hanged witch could still be resurrected, the execution tool was changed from the gallows to the guillotine.

However, in fact, the real witch is not what ordinary people imagined. Most of the so-called witches pushed to the guillotine are just innocent ordinary people.

Until the emergence and development of firearms, the method of executing the death penalty has changed again, and the brutal instrument of torture, the guillotine, has also withdrawn from the stage of history.

For Linna, the guillotine even existed only in history books, and this was the first time she saw the real thing.

There was light rain under the night, but there was still no way to wash off the thick blood on the guillotine.

Now Linna knew why the fracture of the corpse was so rough, because the execution tools themselves were very rough.

What was on the wooden shelf was not a guillotine at all, but an iron plate that had been removed from nowhere.

The cause and effect of this case also became clear. A certain psychologically distorted existence kidnapped thirteen people in the outer city, fabricated crimes for them, and then used the guillotine to decapitate their heads.

Looking at this terrifying instrument of torture that should have been eliminated from history long ago, Linna felt her body chill.

I don't know if it's because of the rain-drenched body, or simply because of the cruelty of the murderer.

"The murderer certainly did not commit the crime alone. It is not an easy task to bring thirteen people to one place. Moreover, he is very familiar with the outer city and the identities of the thirteen victims. See the crime on the sign. It sounds ridiculous, but it still corresponds to the situation of the victims, and people who don't know them can't make up those crimes that are unnecessary."

After getting rid of the shadow in her heart, Linna began to analyze the murderer's situation.

"There is a possibility that extraordinary people commit crimes, but it is unlikely, because it is impossible for extraordinary people to know so much about the outer city. Most of extraordinary people are reckless guys. They will not hide their character, claim to be righteous, and are keen on judging extraordinary people. There are only a few of them, and if they appear in the Star Color Capital, they will definitely be discovered immediately."

"It hasn't been long since the victim was killed. The murderer probably didn't have time to deal with the traces left behind, even including the victim's head. Now that the entire outer city is sealed off and searched, we will definitely be able to find clues."

Several knights who followed looked at each other, and blocked the entire outer city to search?

Are you kidding me, how big is the outer city, its area is comparable to the entire Xingwu city.

Now it happens to be the day when the blessing ceremony is held, and there are at least tens of thousands of people in the capital of stars every day, let alone the outer city, the flow of people in the outer city will only be bigger, more chaotic.

After all, to enter the Capital of Star Colors, complex credentials are required, and identity verification will be required, but the outer city is different. There is no city wall at all in the outer city, and people come and go as they want.

"Your Highness, this is not realistic at all. Now the Public Security Bureau is struggling to maintain the law and order in the Star City, and it doesn't even take care of the outer city. Even if you count the entire Knights, it won't be enough."

"Contact the gangs in the outer city. They can mobilize enough people to complete this matter. This case has a bad impact, and I think it is necessary to solve it as soon as possible."

"This... is indeed a solution."

The knight nodded, and didn't say anything else, anyway, it's not about letting them toss around here in the outer city.

During this period, Fisher remained silent. After finishing what should be said, Linna also looked at him.

"Should the trial court still intervene in this case? If it has nothing to do with extraordinary people, the Public Security Bureau and the Knights can handle it."

"It hasn't been long since Her Highness Linna became a hunter in the Hunting Garden, right?"

Linna was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't quite understand why Fisher suddenly asked herself this question.

"It's only been three years since I became a hunter. It's really not that long."

"No wonder... the guillotine, I hope things don't go as I thought."

Fisher stood there muttering to himself, saying words that Lina couldn't understand.

And after that, he left with the people of the Holy See, not even taking away the corpses on the ground.

So, what does the Tribunal actually mean by this, and should this matter be taken care of or left alone?
Lin Na didn't quite understand. Regardless of the current situation, it was indeed all handled by the Public Security Bureau.

"Take the corpse back to the public security station for the time being, and then inform the family members to claim it earlier. Come with me and notify the gangs in the outer city."

The guards acted, and Linna also acted.

The matter of finding help from the gang went very smoothly. When they saw Master Knight coming to the door, these gangsters almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Everyone thought that the blessing ceremony was approaching, and the knight master would take his own head to receive the reward.

After finishing all this and returning to the security station, it was already late at night.

Linna didn't have any time to rest, and continued to patrol at night without stopping.

The blessing ceremony is approaching, in order to ensure the security of the Star City, the patrols are naturally 24 hours a day.

For Linna, who is an extraordinary person, staying up for several days and nights is not an unbearable burden.

The few knights who followed her before had gone to rest, and the knights who came to pick up the night shift were arranged by Linna to another street.

Compared with the daytime, there are not enough people patrolling at night, and it is normal to act alone.

Walking alone on the street, Linna's thoughts drifted back to the case in the outer city.

She thought about what she might have overlooked, thinking about Fisher's strange behavior.

Gradually, the brilliant light on the street also dimmed. Most of the lights in the city of stars that never sleep were extinguished, and Linna also realized that it was midnight.

"Judgment...judgment...wait a minute, wasn't it the trial witch who caused the disaster of witches in the capital of stars 700 years ago?!"

Seeming to have thought of something suddenly, Lin Na suddenly stopped in her tracks, only feeling a chill rise from her feet and go straight to Tianling.

"No, calm down, a name doesn't really mean anything. Trial of the witch does not mean that it has something to do with the trial. After the disaster of the witch was over, and in the early days of the establishment of the Kingdom of Stars, there were still many criminals who were sentenced to death. Guillotine Neither the act of judging nor the trial of the witch has any direct relationship."

If it is said that simply performing a trial ceremony and killing a few people, the trial witch will be resurrected, then she has already been resurrected.

Fisher is so calm, he must also feel that this is a bit unrealistic.

And now is the critical moment of the blessing ceremony, even if it is really a witch-related problem, it has to wait until the blessing ceremony is over before solving it, otherwise the Xingyue Holy See will lose all face.

Lin Na looked worried, and began to struggle in her heart.

Is it time to warn of the threat posed by the possible witch worshipers, or to prepare wholeheartedly for the upcoming blessing ceremony?
